Unitronic’s philosophy in designing Performance Hardware starts by first analyzing the factory component(s) in various street and track environments to determine overall performance and likely limitations beyond certain power levels.  Through analysis of the data collected, along with engine calibration and engineering principles applied, goals were set forth; optimization of exhaust gas flow and limiting backpressure on the turbine were top priority from a functional, performance oriented standpoint.  In addition to these and following suit as is with all of Unitronic Performance Hardware products, ensuring precise OEM-like fitment and top tier component quality is also of utmost importance.  All of this must be met without sacrifice, while also ensuring a competitive performance to cost ratio for our end-users.

All of Unitronic’s Performance Hardware products are designed using our in-house 3D scanner and modeling software.  With these industry-leading resources in-house at our disposal, design aspects and fitment tolerances are at the maximum precision of up to four one-thousands of an inch.  The result ensures maximum fitment precision on each and every Unitronic Performance Hardware product.  After platform constraints and OEM components are 3D scanned, all data is imported into our modeling software, where we can analyze and interact with the chassis constraints to design an upgraded performance-oriented exhaust system to fit these constraints, as mentioned, perfectly; while ensuring that technical aspects and engineering principles are deployed.

On this 2.0 TSI Gen3 platform, Unitronic’s Downpipe features a flow matched turbocharger turbine discharge downturn of 80mm smoothly tapering to 76.2mm (3”).  The exhaust gasses continue through a 200-cell metallic matrix high-flow catalyst, located in the factory position for maximum efficiency along with an OEM-inspired heat shield to reduce radiant heat dispersing into the engine bay.

Unitronic’s Downpipe is designed to utilize the OEM mounting locations to ensure a seamless direct bolt-on upgrade, while securely fastening the downpipe to the engine.  This results in mitigating any potential rotation of the v-band flange between the turbocharger discharge and downpipe under hard acceleration and engine movement.  Unitronic’s Downpipe also features an 6-inch corrugated stainless steel flex section to further ensure long-term longevity and integrity.

Unitronic’s Exhaust Systems feature a unique v-band fastening system, using  T316 stainless steel flanges and a locking ring to guarantee a centric alignment of the two v-band flanges to ensure a leak proof connection every time. These elements combined not only allow Unitronic to set itself apart from the competition, but also for less development prototyping, faster validation, and strict post-production quality control.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
